I don't think so. Popularity and impact, certainly, but then again the same can be said for Nas. No one was checking for illmatic when it dropped.

lol how is Memphis Bleek the only one Jay-Z put on?....Kanye? Beanie Sigel? Cam'ron? The Diplomats? Freeway?
King PETEY is speaking the truth...and is likely one of the few posting in this thread (besides myself) who was heavy into hiphop at that time. BadBoy had the game on LOCK. If you don't believe it, check Jay's second cd, and his first two singles! Dude straight up jacked the BadBoy flavour.City is Mine- hmmm...a very prominent 80's sampleSunshine- - ever seen the video? STRAIGHT BadBoyIllmatic is more my thing, or some Mecca and the Soul Brother, but I would also argue that No Way Out was a classic. Was it perfect? NOT EVEN CLOSE. But it DID define an era. I don't like Get Rich or Die Trying at all, but I'd argue to the death its a classic, feel me?
